fuel draining into the oil pan.
This condition can be caused by a leaking injector or reduced
compression caused by inadequate piston ring sealing.
An Increase in white exhaust smoke during the first start of the
day is a symptom that an Injector may be leaking.
An injector leak will also cause the engine to run rough and
have low power.
Remove and replace leaking injectors.
